1 Thinking Outside the Box Breaking Down Brick Walls in Early New England Christopher C. Child, Senior Genealogist of the Newbury Street Press Meet today s presenter Christopher C. Child Senior Genealogist of the Newbury Street Press OVERVIEW Presentation (60 mins.) Using onomastic evidence Tackling various genealogical challenges DNA Case study Q&A (30 mins.) 1
2 Voice of Christopher C. Child Senior Genealogist General Considerations You may not find one smoking-gun record You may need to rely on a number of records to build a case Some records may be less reliable than others A may lead to B, which might lead to C and then back to A (or more) May have working several working theories Tip Stay organized! 2
3 Using Onomastic Evidence Onomastic Evidence Some cultures may have defined naming patterns, while others may be less rigid Surnames as first names or less common first names can be clues of earlier kinships and origins Can be circumstantial evidence, but can be a starting point or provide a working theory Jonathan Pinney of Plymouth, VT Was he really born in England? Evaluate names from wife s family Disregard very common names (usually) Had sons John and Jonathan Sons Solomon, Amial, and Deline 3
4 Delano Pinney John Penney and Elizabeth Delano NYGBR, 2002 John Penny had a nephew named Amial Elizabeth Delano was the daughter and sister of a Jonathan Delano Moved to Dutchess Co., N.Y. in 1750s, John died soon after Moved back to Mass.; Elizabeth married (2) David Ayres (who had son Solomon) Moved with married Penny daughters to Plymouth, Vt.! 4
5 Jonathan Pinney of Plymouth, Vermont; only one still named Penney/Pinney Caswell & Shaw Families of CT Ebenezer Rogers of Norwich, CT & Albion, NY Rogers, Merrick, Shaw, and Caswell Families of Norwich, CT 5
6 George Rogers of Whatley, MA George Rogers family Tip Naming patterns are not always a guarantee of kinship. 6
7 Challenge: Determining maternity when a father has two wives Challenges Sometimes a man may be married to two women with the same first name, two sisters, or even (rarely) women who have the same full name! Researching a complete timeline with probate, land records, military, pensions, or any possible record Following leads on family members of male subject and both of his wives Land Records and naming patterns 7
8 Key Documents Probate Record of Ann Brewster s brother Daniel Brewster in 1779 lists sister Ann as still single Lebanon Land Records, 1781, George and Ann Rogers, sell land to Elijah Hyde, Jr Death date of Margaret: sibling or mother? Arranging the two mothers Sally (Rice) Brewer Sally Rice married Eliab Brewer in 1782 Died in 1835, aged 74 (thus born ca. 1760) Stated in Rice genealogy as likely the daughter of Bezaleel Rice and his first wife Susanna Jennings Bezaleel Rice s 1801 will names a daughter Sarah Brewer Bezaleel s recorded daughter Sarah was born
9 Sally (Rice) Brewer (ca ) Sally (Rice) Brewer (ca ) working theory Who is Sally s Mama? Will of Bezaleel Rice, no wife, children treated alike Other relatives of Bezaleel Rice? Other relatives of Sarah (Bent) Rice? Other relatives of Susannah (Jennings) Rice? 9
10 Stephen Jennings, died 1763 Stephen Jennings, died 1763 Item I Give to my Grandchildren the Children of my Daughter Susanna Rice Deceased as follows viz: to Hezekiah Rice.. and to Susanna Rice.. Stephen Jennings, died
11 Sally s mother can t be a Jennings QUESTIONS? Challenge: Determining paternity when a mother has two husbands or partners 11
12 An incidental relative Hugh Williams 1674 will makes a bequest to the children of his brother Hilton Hugh s wife Sarah had a legacy from Catherine Coytmore Mehitable (Nowell) Hilton is Catherine s granddaughter An incidental relative Follow other relatives 12
13 Children of Parnell (Gray) (Parker) Nowell An incidental relative 1764 will of John Morse Names sons (in birth order) Living daughters, with spouses or indicating unmarried Children of deceased daughter Priscilla Perrin My grandson Abijah Child How is Abijah Child the grandson of John Morse? 13
14 Abijah Child in Genealogies?? Intention to marry, but no marriage Children by different fathers 14
15 Tip Think of kinships in a very broad sense. my father in law Mr. Jervis Will of Thomas Bright of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk [grandfather of Henry Bright of Mass.] Will written 20 August 1587 Names wife Margaret Names several sons, daughters with their spouses Eldest son s son; godson (nephew) father in law Mr. Jervis, of Whepstead, supervisor How can Mr. Jervis be Thomas Bright s father-in-law? Current wife s father Earlier wife s father Step-father Current wife s stepfather Earlier wife s step-father Later husband of stepmother Later husband of current wife s stepmother Later husband of earlier wife s step-mother 15
16 my father in law Mr. Jervis Chancery proceeding of 1588 identified Margaret Bright as a daughter of William Payton, late of Risby, and all of William s children were by his only wife Johan, who survived him Thomas Bright had only wife and his step-mother outlived Thomas s father Mr. Jervis is perhaps a later husband of Thomas s step-mother or a later husband of Thomas s mother-in-law Incidental relatives William Payton s will of 1556 names a brother-in-law John Webbe of Risby John Webb of Risby, will dated 1586, names Mr. Jervis of Whepstead, his brother-in-law As Margaret (Payton) Bright s father William Payton called John Webb his brother-in-law, who in turn called Mr. Jervis his brother-in-law, since Mr. Jervis was Thomas Bright s father-inlaw, then William Payton and Mr. Jervis are married to the same woman, Johan ( or Webb) (Payton) Jervis Tip Sister, Brother, etc. may not mean any kinship! 16
17 Challenge: Separating people of the same name in the same community Common families, common problems Even when records are abundant, kinship linkages may be problematic Records in colonial period and early nineteenth century are often not as detailed as we want Try to get additional records when a family name may be too common to rely on a vital record alone Two Sarah Childs: 1722 and
18 No will, but a sibling buyout Shubal Child bought out his siblings Sarah was born in 1724, daughter of John What happened to Benjamin s daughter Sarah is unknown More problems! Hannah (Child) Bicknell Tip When a surname is very common, plan to use more than vital records, even if they all seem to be there. 18
19 The use of Suffixes Moses Lyon 3rd The use of suffixes: William Orcutt, Jr. The use of suffixes: William Orcutt, Jr. 19
20 Two William Orcutts of Stafford Which William is William Orcutt Jr. The use of suffixes: William Orcutt, Jr. 20
21 William Orcutt Jr. is the son of Caleb QUESTIONS? Other challenges Earlier marriages of both parties Reliance on readily available vital records indices when lesser known town collections may exist Probate or land records are found, but still do not state the needed information 21
22 When probate does not work Elizabeth Child Tip Do not assume a female s name at marriage is her birth surname. Children by an earlier husband 22
23 First marriage record (not in Barbour or CSL index) No probate, but a land distribution Tip You can have a documented birth, marriage, and death date and the lineage can be wrong; the reverse can also be true. 23
24 Six Towne siblings of Salem, 1834 No records of their birth Stephen Towne [father] is appointed guardian of the children to take custody of the estate they are in to inherit in right of their deceased mother 1/6 of 1/7 of Land of Barnabas Herrick Four Generations, Missed in VRs Case Study: DNA Study 24
25 Basics of mtdna mtdna is inherited from a person s mother Matrilineal-related people (even several generations back) share the same mtdna markers People who do not share the same markers are not matrilinealy related within recorded history (a few centuries) For this problem: six people were solicited and existing descendants had already participated Esther Priest of Pomfret, Vermont Born Vermont, about 1792 Married Pomfret, Vermont, 1814, George Jones, and moved to New York In later censuses, Esther lived with a grandson of Ichabod Priest, Sr. of Pomfret, Vermont Based on the 1800 censuses, Esther could be a daughter of Ichabod Priest, Jr., or his eldest son Ichabod Priest, Jr. Which family does Esther belong to? 25
26 Matrilineal descendants Matrilineal descendants Expected Conclusions Matrilineal descendants of Phebe Grout should match each other, and descendants of Phebe Leete Matrilineal descendants of Molly Richardson should match each other, and descendants of Elizabeth Tilley Matrilineal descendants of Esther Priest should match other If Esther s descendants match the Grout/Leete bunch, she was a daughter of Phebe Grout and Ichabod Priest, Jr. If Esther s descendants match the Richardson/Tilley bunch, she was a daughter of Molly Richardson & Ichabod Priest, Sr. 26
27 Results! Esther Priest is a daughter of Ichabod Priest, Sr. and Molly Richardson When to Give Up? 27
28 When to give up... You ve searched all available records published and original Broadened scope to look at other relatives, inlaws, friends, and neighbors With trial and error, existing theories cannot be confirmed or refuted... but never give up hope! More and more records are being indexed and digitized everyday Follow scholarly journals and database updates Your solution could be in a collection not yet considered by your research QUESTIONS?
